A STRONG DEI ROADMAP
Integrating equity principles into the whole organization

Bella Simon
Key Account Director of Sales
EMPHASIS ON TEAM
Teamwork, not competition, drives this sales team
Rather than the competitive culture that’s common in sales, Bella Simon was surprised and pleased at the collaborative nature of Telesign’s sales team. “It’s so refreshing to be part of a team with a communal goal: helping customers provide a safe online experience for their end users,” Simon said. This team-first mentality has tangible business benefits; working together allows salespeople to learn from each other and apply that knowledge to their work with customers. That mentality extends outside of sales, too. The team works across departments to continue leveling up.

Anson Lee
Director of Product Management
THOUGHTFUL INNOVATION
Keeping the focus on providing value
The top priority for Anson Lee and his product team is to provide value for Telesign’s customers. Product managers constantly brainstorm and provide feedback to one another to make sure every step they take is for the customer’s benefit. That’s how the product team is accomplishing their recent ambitious project: Putting some of their solutions into the cloud to make them more accessible to users. Cloud implementation requires thoughtful work and creativity to rebuild the solutions on a new framework and develop new deployment processes, but the product team is more than up to the task.
